This is a perfect use the signed commit by multiple persons. Git already supports it (under the hood and in reporting). A quick google pulled up my notes on this: http://marc.info/?l=git&m=140845378317052&w=2 $ cat merge-multisigs.sh #!/bin/bash ( for i in "$@" do gpg --dearmor < "$i" done ) | gpg --enarmor $ cat write-commit.ruby #!/usr/bin/irb require 'fileutils' file = File.open(ARGV[0], "rb") content = file.read header = "commit #{content.length}\0" store = header + content require 'digest/sha1' sha1 = Digest::SHA1.hexdigest(store) require 'zlib' zlib_content = Zlib::Deflate.deflate(store) path = '.git/objects/' + sha1[0,2] + '/' + sha1[2,38] FileUtils.mkdir_p(File.dirname(path)) File.open(path, 'w') { |f| f.write zlib_content } -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - - - Jason Pyeron PD Inc. http://www.pdinc.us - - Principal Consultant 10 West 24th Street #100 - - +1 (443) 269-1555 x333 Baltimore, Maryland 21218 - - - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
